Opposition unity: SP-Congress rift in UP a close reminder of 2025 Bihar polls

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 23 (IANS) The latest exchange between leaders of the Samajwadi Party (SP) and the Congress ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly election is a reminder of opposition parties making the political contest against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secondary to the war of attrition within its own ranks. While the BJP has begun strengthening its organisation and preparing for the high-stakes electoral battle next year, sections among its principal rivals appear preoccupied with settling the question of who should be leading the Opposition. This is currently the contention between SP MP Iqra Hasan and Congress MP Imran Masood. Hasan reportedly said that only SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav is capable of defeating the BJP in Uttar Pradesh and suggested that the Congress could achieve little on its own. Masood is said to have responded by insisting that Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is the only Opposition leader with a national reach capable of unsettling the BJP. The signal thus emerging from Uttar Pradesh is that despite repeated assurances from the top leadership of both parties that the alliance remains intact, there is still no consensus on hierarchy, ownership and political primacy within. That should worry Opposition ranks at this hour. In the 2024 Lok Sabha election, the SP emerged as the principal beneficiary of the alliance, winning far more seats than the Congress and re-establishing itself as the state's dominant Opposition force. Akhilesh Yadav sought to broaden his party's social coalition with PDA (Pichhda, Dalit, and Alpsankhyak) and provided a coherent political message against the BJP. It is the principal reason that SP leaders see Akhilesh Yadav, not Rahul Gandhi, as the central face of any challenge in Uttar Pradesh. But for the Congress, despite the political setbacks, Rahul Gandhi's national campaign against the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) remains the focus, saying that national visibility and a broader anti-BJP platform that regional parties alone cannot provide. For a probable alliance platform, the trouble is that rather than discussing it internally, opinions are being aired publicly. Uttar Pradesh has seen alliances collapse under the weight of leadership ambiguity and seat-sharing disputes. Yet, the issue of the top face has emerged larger than whether voters believe the coalition's common purpose. Before the Bihar Assembly election last year, the Opposition Mahagathbandhan spent months wrestling with questions that should have been resolved early. There were disputes over seat-sharing between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, and among other allies, with disagreements over each party's bargaining power and persistent speculation over leadership arrangements. Reports at the time highlighted friction between the RJD and Congress as negotiations dragged on and both parties accused each other of being inflexible. It created the impression that alliance partners were more concerned with protecting their respective egos than presenting a united alternative. Even when compromises were eventually reached, public memory of the wranglings lingered. Back in Uttar Pradesh too, seat-sharing remains a sensitive issue. Congress leaders have pushed for an early settlement, while the SP appears less eager to finalise arrangements. Congress functionaries have spoken of fighting on equal terms and demanding greater space, while SP leaders have projected confidence in their independent strength. However, electoral logic strongly favours cooperation. The Congress is too weak in the state to seriously challenge the BJP on its own, while the SP knows that even a modest Congress vote share can matter in closely fought Assembly constituencies. Like Bihar, a public spat may not augur well where every spat on who is the eal Opposition face chips away at voter's confidence. The BJP will likely benefit from such utterances. While Opposition leaders debate credit, the ruling party's well-oiled electoral machine is preparing early, strengthening organisation and focusing on booth-level mobilisation. The Opposition needs to have learnt its lesson from Bihar where too much time and animosity now on leadership and seat-sharing may pose a similar risk. They would do well to remember that elections are rarely won by deciding who gets top billing in the Opposition poster, though these make good debate; rather, won by convincing voters that everyone on that poster is working towards the same goal.

Bihar: Former Patna councillor shot five times in Buddha Colony

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 23 (IANS) A former Patna municipal councillor was critically injured after unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire on him in the Buddha Colony police station area of Patna on Wednesday. The victim, Anil Yadav, was sitting in the basement of his apartment complex with some supporters when two men arrived on a motorcycle and allegedly opened fire. Yadav was hit by multiple bullets, with reports indicating that he was shot around five times. He was rushed to Udyan Hospital in Patna, where he is undergoing treatment and remains under medical supervision. The shooting took place in a residential locality, triggering panic among residents. A girls hostel is located on the first floor of the apartment building where the incident occurred, adding to the commotion following the firing. According to residents, the assailants fled the spot after the shooting while allegedly carrying firearms. Police from the Buddha Colony police station arrived soon after receiving information about the incident. Officers inspected the scene and questioned residents and other witnesses. Investigators are examining CCTV footage from cameras installed in the apartment complex and nearby areas to identify the attackers. Police teams have also been conducting raids at suspected hideouts to apprehend those involved. Krishna Murari Prasad, ASP (Law and Order), said a police team had reached the scene after receiving information about the shooting. The entire matter is being investigated. Police are scrutinising footage from CCTV cameras at the scene and in the surrounding areas. Efforts are underway to identify the perpetrators based on this footage. The police are also conducting raids at suspected hideouts to apprehend the attackers, he said. Police are also investigating the motive behind the attack and are examining various possible angles, including the possibility of previous enmity. Anil Yadav is a former councillor from Ward No. 24 of the Patna Municipal Corporation, while his wife is the current councillor from the ward. The latest attack has also drawn attention because Yadavs son was reportedly shot dead a few days ago. Police are examining whether there could be any connection between the two incidents. Following the shooting, police deployment has been increased in the area as investigators work to identify and arrest the attackers. The investigation is ongoing.

Bihar: Hareram Yadav sent to judicial custody in Jamui case

Digital Desk | Patna, Sep 23 (IANS) Hareram Yadav, arrested in connection with the alleged assault and molestation of a minor girl in Bihars Jamui district, was produced before a special POCSO court on Wednesday and remanded to judicial custody for 14 days. After being declared medically fit by a doctor, Yadav was brought before the court of Maheshwar Dubey, Special Judge for POCSO cases. The court subsequently sent him to judicial custody. During the court appearance, advocate Akash Pandey allegedly slapped Yadav inside the court premises, briefly creating a commotion. Pandey explained his action by saying he felt deep outrage against the accused and considered the slap symbolic of the anger of the entire town of Jamui. Jamui Superintendent of Police Vishwajeet Dayal said one of the three individuals initially detained as juveniles was subsequently found to be an adult. According to the SP, eight arrests have been made so far, five in connection with the alleged molestation case and three in connection with the circulation of the viral video. Nandan Yadav, identified by police as the main accused, was apprehended on Tuesday after sustaining a gunshot injury to his leg during a police encounter. Hareram Yadav had been arrested before Nandans apprehension. Police said two minors and another accused, found to be on the borderline of adulthood, have already been sent to a juvenile correction facility and jail, respectively. Investigators have identified six individuals in connection with the alleged molestation case. Police have arrested five, while one accused, Ranjeet Ram of Pratappur, remains absconding. The Cyber Police Station has identified around 120 social media accounts allegedly involved in circulating the video and is preparing further action against them. A separate case, registered as Case No. 45/2026 at the Jamui Cyber Police Station, concerns the circulation of unblurred videos involving minors, which police said exposed their identities. Police have already arrested three alleged social media handlers and sent them to judicial custody. The arrested individuals have been identified as Yogendra Prasad Yadav of Auraiya Para Matihana in Sono block, Faiyaz Shah of Adsar in Jamui city, and Ramashish Kumar of Sagma in Chandradeep block. Police have also registered cases against several other individuals allegedly involved in circulating the video on platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and X. Investigators are tracing the accounts through the links available to them, and efforts are underway to identify and locate the accused. Cases have been registered under relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, and the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act. The investigation into both the alleged assault and the subsequent circulation of material identifying the minor victims is continuing.

PM Modi lauds rhino conservation efforts on World Rhino Day

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday lauded the rhino conservation efforts in the country and said the Project Rhino has been initiated for financial and technical support to the range states for protection, habitat management, and understanding population dynamics of the endangered species. On the occasion of World Rhino Day, Modi said the country celebrates the magnificent greater one-horned rhinoceros and lauds all those at the forefront of its protection. Assam now holds nearly 80 per cent of the worlds rhino population and Kazirangas efforts to end rhino poaching have been extensively appreciated, he said in a post on X. The prime minister said on one hand, rhinos have either returned or are well protected in parts of Bihar and West Bengal, on the other hand, success of reintroduction of rhinos in Dudhwa (Uttar Pradesh) is creating history. This shows the sustained commitment of our people towards animal protection and active wildlife management in the range states, he said. Taking species conservation in the country forward, Modi said he was happy to share that Project Rhino has been initiated for financial and technical support to the range states for protection, habitat management, genetic improvement and understanding population dynamics. World Rhino Day is a day of awareness for all five rhino species and the work being done to save them. Since 2011, World Rhino Day has been celebrated internationally on September 22 by rhino experts and advocates around the world. The day is especially important to raise awareness of the plight of rhinos because they are regularly poached for their horns which are sold illegally and used in traditional medicine despite no scientific proof that these remedies work.
